The EM wave with the shortest wavelength among the following is:
Ultraviolet rays
X-rays
Gamma-rays
Microwaves
The electromagnetic spectrum is arranged in order of increasing wavelength (or decreasing frequency) as follows: Gamma rays < X-rays < Ultraviolet < Visible < Infrared < Microwaves < Radio waves.
Among the given options, Gamma-rays possess the highest frequency and energy, and consequently, the shortest wavelength.
